This Mask I Wear
By: Strangers In Paradise
This mask I wear, you gave to me
One winter night beneath the trees;
Its black and blue enshrouds my life,
Surrounds my eyes and blinds my sight.
This mask I wear pretends I’m here,
And hides me from the awful fear
That you might find the heart of me
And take that to, beneath the trees.
This mask I wear to hide the pain.
It’s all I have to keep me sane.
I just fell down, I’m told to tell.
There are no words to stop this hell.
This mask I pray to God for why
He hates me so to watch me die
A little more with every night
This man comes in and rapes my life.
But little girls grow up, my friend
And learn the wicked ways of men.
And this mask I wear comes off the day
This mask I wear lies on your grave.
